Title: Improvements relating to Rotary Boring or Drilling Machines.
Inventor: RAYNER GEORGE HENRY
IPC: E21B19/081
Filed: 1910-04-06
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 8324. Rayner, G. H., and Rayner, P. April 6. Drilling.-A screw feed device for mining and like drills has means whereby different speeds of cutting may be readily secured. The feedscrew b having a . buttress thread, is mounted in a casing a so as to engage a two part nut c, which has two flat faces perpendicular to the junction lines, these faces having inclined grooves or projections c<3> adapted to engage inclined projections or grooves on two segmental parts f, Fig. 6, which are externally threaded to engage the internal threads on a rotatable collar g. By rotating the collar, the segments are given longitudinal motion and operate the half nuts by means of the grooves and projections, to regulate the friction between the screw and nut, or to disengage the nut from the screw entirely as required. The bottoms of the half nuts are mounted to slide in grooves in a bearing block e which can be rotated from a sleeve m by a ratchet washer n one end of which is fixed to the block, Fig. 4. The sleeve m is driven through bevel reduction gearing h, i, from the feed screw by means of a removable key p. To obtain a quick feed the key p is removed and the nut portions operated to close tightly on the feed screw so that as the screw is rotated the tool is fed forward a distance equal to the pitch, the bearing block and nut being prevented from rotation by a pawl o engaging teeth on the bearing-block. For a slower feed, the key p is inserted, whereby the sleeve m drives the bearing-block and hence the nut c through the ratchet washer n, in the same direction as, but at a slower rate than. the feed-screw. To obtain a friction feed, the key p is removed and the friction between the nut and feed-screw adjusted so that the forward feed will depend on this friction and be proportional also to the hardness of the material operated upon. Ball bearings are fitted to reduce friction.

Abstract: 13,130. Justice, P. M., [Anti-Germ Drinking Fountain Co.]. May 30. Fountains. - In a drinking-fountain of the type in which the water is drunk directly from the jet, the nozzle is normally rendered inaccessible by a cover which is adapted to be removed by the operation of the pedal controlling the water-supply valve just before the water is turned on, and to be replaced by the action of a spring just after the water is turned off. The apparatus comprises a hollow column 1 having an ice-chamber 2 and a small basin 17 at the top and containing a water-supply pipe 23, cooling-coil 10, nozzle 19, wastereturn pipes 24, 27, and pedal-operating mechanism for the supply valve 28 and the nozzle cover 43. When the pedal 37 is depressed, the cover 43. is first moved away from the nozzle by the downward movement of an operating-arm 47 carried by a rod 49, 58, which is controlled by a spring 59 attached to the pedal lever. Upon further movement of the pedal, the rod 49, 58 is pre vented from further descent by the collar 53<b>, and the water-supply valve 28 is then opened by the rod 31. During the upward movement of the pedal, the valve 28 closes before the pedal lever engages with the end of the rod 58 to replace the cover 43 over the nozzle. The height of the water-jet is regulated by the handoperated valve 42 and by an automatic ball valve 80, which partially closes the supply pipe during any sudden increase of pressure. A ball valve 63, adapted to be closed by a rod 64, is situated in the nozzle for the purpose of preventing tampering with the water jet by the finger or otherwise, and a guard-ring may also be arranged round the nozzle for the same purpose. A spring 62, Fig. 5, is attached to the cover 43 for the purpose of restoring the cover into position over the nozzle; and a locking-catch 76 is fitted to the operating-arm 47 to hold the cover locked relatively to it. Should an obstruction prevent the return of the cover, the operating-arm is free to rise independently.

Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 10,339. Fowler, R. H., and Cooper, H. April 28. Ploughs.-In motor or other ploughs having two main wheels and a rear steering-wheel, the frame carrying the tools rests on an underframe supported by the steering-wheel and is connected by a rope or rod with an appliance which can be clutched to the main axle or wheel, or to a rotary shaft, to lift the tool frame. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the motor and tools are carried by a frame a hung from the main axles by plates c and resting on an underframe d, which is pivoted at d<1> and is supported by the steering-wheel c by means of rings d<2>, d<3>, the motor being in front of the main axles and the tools at the rear of them. The tool frame is raised by means of a rope g wound on a drum h and connected to a lever arm f<2> on a rockshaft f', which has an arm f<3> linked to the frame a. The drum h is clutched to the wheel axle by operating a pedal near the seat k. A pawl h' engaging with a ratchet-wheel h<2> prevents the unwinding of the rope. The tool frame falls when the pawl h<1> is moved by operating a lever h<3>. In a modification, the underframe is the main frame and carries the motor, and the tool frame is adapted to be lifted approximately parallel to itself. It is guided by pins and slots, and is linked to arms on two rock-shafts which are coupled together by lever arms and an adjustable rope. An arm on one of the shafts is actuated by a rope wound on a drum mounted on the shaft from which the main wheels are driven. The clutch is automatically thrown out of engagement with the drum by an adjustable tappet on the lifting- rope. According to the Provisional Specification, the depth of work may be adjusted by means of screws.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Starters for Electric Motors.
Inventor: FIELD MICHAEL BIRT
IPC: H02P1/16
Filed: 1911-08-17
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 18,611. Field, M. B. Aug. 17. Controllers, actuating-mechanism and interlocking-devices for. -The operating-coil w, Fig. 1, of a motor - starter is supplied with current impulses by means of an adjustable pendulum. After a given time, a contact 1 on a spring-operated arm z falls off the conducting-portion of a snail r on to an insulating- plate t, thereby breaking the circuits of the pendulum coil and also of the coil w. The time that elapses is sufficient to start the motor, a starter of the kind described in Specification 12,300/10 being used by preference. The pendulum 3, Fig. 3, is oscillated by a coil 120, which pulls against a spring 10, and at one side contacts with a screw 9 for short-circuiting the coil 120 after one-half of the swing has been completed, and on the other side contacts with a terminal 6, thereby supplying current to the coil w. The movement of the core h of the operating-coil is communicated through a buffer spring g to a part 33 that is allowed to oscillate to a fixed amplitude by means of nuts 30, 31 and a projection 32. A pawl u on the part 33 operates a ratchet-wheel q, which drives the snail. After the part 33 has been moved to its limit, the continued movement of the core h compresses the spring g, and by means of links x, y pivoted to an arm 29 depresses a pawl d on to a ratchet-wheel b. The wheel b is on the controller spindle c, which is thus moved step by step by the pawl d. A pawl e is held against the ratchet-wheel b during the switching-on process by a magnet p, which is also in the circuit of a blow-out magnet 15 on the pendulum base. A lamp 14 shows when the starter is in ' full on ' position, and a handwheel may be provided in addition to the automatic system. A separate operating - coil may be provided for the snail ratchet-wheel. In a modified arrangement, two pendulums of different frequencies are used, one to shortcircuit the operating-coil and the other to shortcircuit the hold-on coil. The pendulums are started out of phase, the frequencies being such that, on again coming into phase with one another, the motor will have been started up. At this point, as in the case of the snail, all the operative coils are de-energized, and the starter arm is either held on by its own no-volt coil or is returned by its spring at once to the ' off ' position.
